Hey y'all, those of you who have those great campers and trailers, how'd it be if you would volunteer to take us farmgirls who can't do that kind of thing any more. An example would be people with certain physical problems and don't have the physical strength to use their own camper. Maybe there are some of those girls in your henhouse who would love an outing. Think of what a lake or campsite with a fire would be to someone like that.
Whaddya think? A stranger is only someone you haven't met.

We've started taking our daughters friends camping with us. Our girls are 11 & 8. The girls that we take aren't campers - it makes for an interesting weekend. But I look forward to sharing nature with them.
I think it's a great idea for us Farm Girls to do! Share nature with other Farm Girls who are unable to get out anymore - or with someone who is quite sure how to do it for themselves.
How many times have we heard "You camp? Oh, I could never do that!" Oh, yes you could!

One idea is to take an older person (parent, aunt, lady from church, next door neighbor,) to a local park for the day. Take a picnic basket, ice chest, chairs, portable radio, magazines, games or what ever. There would be park benchs, and picnic tables for your use, or take a card table. Plus usually a large bathroom. It would be a start for going somewhere if you met someone you would like to take on a longer trip. I take my little 24' motorhome out to the local parks and my girlfriends meet me there and we "camp" sitting outside the MH and have a ball.
Be good to yourself and be good to this earth.
